Late Nights

We had a special holiday weekend. Naomi took Friday off. On Wednesday night Marquette did the fireworks show. It was very impressive! Almost as impressive as the sunset. They combined it with a laser show on the Ore Dock, fireballs, and even exploded charges under the structure which made the most incredible sound. It was surprising and Amélie cried, thinking the Ore Dock was exploding. We met a nice new family with girls similar to ours in age there too. Just moved to town this past week. Didn't get to bed until after midnight - a new record for the girls. 

On Friday we headed out to our campsite and neighbor Rick joined us for dinner. Weather was perfect and the bugs weren't bad. Picked up some wood ticks on the trails. Another late night. Naomi and I had headaches on Saturday, but Amélie was able to play at a friend's house while the three of us hung out at the campsite. That made the headaches more manageable. 

Puzzling out how to get a wood stove into the basement. Tricky as the floor and roof joists don't line up. Some of the basement walls don't line up with the living room walls either, and the stove pipe needs to go through the living room, so it's all very complicated. I think I figured it out, though. Also worked on the garden more. Finished the gate, brought in more wood chips, and pruned back a bush that was shading out part of it. Need to make some tomato cages today. 

Got some new demos lined up the week for the teaching business, so maybe there's still some life in it. Decided to take down the website because it isn't getting used. So that is sad. Worked hard building that!

Naomi took the girls to a dog hugging event at the library.

Garden is looking better.

Another cutting board for Kile.

Mushrooms found the compost!

Finished a little project for my new client on the lake.

Interesting fog.

Quite the sunset!

Fireworks time.
